Houston police said that because Emmanuel told officers his name was “Manuel,” they didn’t connect him to the missing person’s case — despite the similarity in his description and location. His mom was allowed to visit three times. Once after emergency surgery.

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.
She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.
“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

The agony, hours, fear, money, and diligence necessary to unwind the actions of the cruel and stupid f**k-ups at the PD and ICE is incredible.

The BBC is now so fearful of Trump that it edited a statement of opinion about Trump out of the broadcast of a speech by a respected historian. It is a measure of how dangerously pliant much of the press has become in the face of Trump's threats.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.
